It used to be that operations e.g. like:
float3{} + double{} would be computed as
float3{} + float3{double{}} instead of
float3{} + double3{double{}}
I other words, when an implicit conversion was involved on the right
it would be converted to the left side’s type, possibly losing
precision.
Another problem was that swiping the operands could produce different
Results, e.g.:
float3{1} * 5.0 -> float3{5.0f}
5.0 * float3{1} -> double3{5.0}
This is no longer the case, now both expressions would return a double3.
Note:
float3 r{};
r *= 5;
Is now equivalent to:
r[0] *= 5;
r[1] *= 5;
r[2] *= 5;
Instead of before:
r[0] *= 5.0f;
r[1] *= 5.0f;
r[2] *= 5.0f;
